Tithing is like training wheels when it comes to giving. It's intended to help you get started, but not recommended for the Tour de France.

Tithing is considerably less popular than words like generosity or sharing.

How grateful I am for the law of tithing. It is the Lord's law of finance.

Prosperity comes to those who observe the law of tithing.

Are you really sure that a floor can't also be a ceiling?

I absolutely believe in the power of tithing and giving back. My own experience about all the blessings I've had in my life is that the more I give away, the more that comes back. That is the way life works, and that is the way energy works.

Often as we teach and testify about the law of tithing, we emphasize the immediate, dramatic and readily recognizable temporal blessings that we receive. And surely such blessings do occur. Yet some of the diverse blessings we obtain as we are obedient to this commandment are significant but subtle.

If your ceiling is falling down, don't you call someone in? I apply the same principle to myself.

My daughter loves to cook. At first, I found myself making her be really neat and precise. Then I realized it's OK if things get all over the floor and counters and ceiling. We're making memories.

I think I'm fairly good with money, but I've developed some strange tics - in shops I don't like to go to the counter unless I've got at least two things to buy. If I'm walking around with just one thing in my hand I'll put it back and wait a few weeks because that doesn't seem like a proper purchase.
